I know I don’t come around here much - but I have to tell you how much I genuinely enjoyed this video, and how proud of you I am. Your intentionality and discipline have not only helped you but they have helped inspire me, and improved my health. I hope that means we’re perhaps buying a little more time together. It’s always good to see your face 😊
I absolutely adore you! I’m so glad we went on this journey together, thanks for sticking with me. I think about that every day, if I can buy more time with you, I’ll do this each and every day for the rest of my life.
You’re a super brave you’re talking about all this, but you’re not alone. I have experienced quite a bit of what you’ve experienced and am on a journey that is whole food plant-based not all salt oil or sugar or processed foods. I initially lost 23 pounds but it’s been slowing down now. I still have a long ways to go but we are in the good fight right along with you.❤
I’ve done plant based before and didn’t lose like I wanted to. I do eat a lot of plants now, just differently. I hope you get the results you want!
So very proud of you, my friend! ❤ thank you for sharing!!!
Our stories are so similar. Like crazy similar. I have done keto and lost 40 pounds then went back to my old habits and gained it back. I have been contemplating doing it again and this video just encourages me to do so. I have followed you for awhile for your other content but would love to see more of you health journey in the future. Congratulations on your success. I know how much better I felt on keto. I miss that. Just like the Lord gave you that sugar video he gave me yours. ❤
That is why I haven’t cheated on keto-I know that going back to old habits would happen quickly. I just keep treating sugar especially as poison. I want nothing to do with it! I hope you find your way back quickly!
You are doing amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.❤
Thank you for sharing your journey. Congrats on your progress!
Thank you for sharing! So many of us struggle with weight and eating disorders. Best of luck on your journey!
Congratulations Sam! You've inspired me today. I honestly look foward to more of this journey.
I really enjoyed this video! This has been so motivating! Found you through PLG videos and then found this. Thank you for your honesty in your journey. Congratulations on your success!
So much to encourage others. Thank you for sharing. ❤
So proud of you. Congratulations on a mindset that abled you to see your issue as you do. So very inspiring. Thank you for sharing
Hi Sam, Wow. Thank you for sharing. I have tried to go low carb but kept talking myself away from it as it's so hard with family wanting to keep making me eat the carbs... I really appreciate what you have said here. I would love to follow your journey if and when you post more. I live in Australia and I have been reading from Christine Cronau. Her story is amazing. Again thank you so much for your story xxx
Thank you for sharing. ❤ You are inspiring changes for me as well. I would love an update whenever feels good for you.
Sam, great video, one that I have no doubt was an inspiration for many today. Congratulations on your weight loss, fantastic!
Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
I found Keto years ago to see if it would help with my seizures and I have never turned back. I love the Keto way of living and I love fasting 24hr once a week. It is not just about weight but also about decreasing inflammation. I was just looking at that same book on Amazon but put it in my save for later. Would love a book review when you are done...lol. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I’m sitting here so happy to hear your progress! You’re amazing and doing so well. This fed my soul! ✨🥰✨
Thank you!
Thank you for this video ❤ I recognized the thing about making small changes not leading anywhere. I used to make small rules like ”only have cake twice this month” and track it in my bujo. But it didn’t lead anywhere and only increased my stress. And the health problems… I have fascia plantatis, I broke my leg last year, it’s been a journey. Currently I focus on exercise and I don’t think too much about what I eat.
Wow, Sam! Thank you for sharing your journey. That was brave and I am totally motivated by your conversation. Happy to hear you are feeling better, and as they often do, your nails look fabulous!
Thank you so much. 🧡
Thank you for sharing!❤ I usually come to watch your planner videos, but this video was such perfect timing as I’m making similar decisions for my health.
Good luck on your journey! It’s totally worth it!
Amazing job, proud of you for your journey and sharing!
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Please continue to share even though this is your planner channel. It’s part of who you are and I love it!
I lose subscribers-but it’s worth it if I help someone!!
I loved this! Would definitely love to see more!
Bless you for sharing your story!! Way to go Sam! Keep it going! My husband and I did this last year with success as well. It is a new lifestyle! I tell myself "I would rather have the weight off then eat the "whatever". I have also found when I have cheated and ate some past favorites, they didn't taste as good as I remembered and of course I didn't feel as good afterwards. It is alot of work, but the benefit is wonderful!! God Bless!
Thanks so much Susan! It really changed everything about food for us!
Thank you so much for sharing! I'm so inspired and encouraged by your story!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing! So interesting and informative and I am so happy for your accomplishments!
Thank you so much!
Sam- Kudos to you for your health journey!! I applaud your bravery for being so vulnerable. I lost 35 pounds following the Atkins diet in the mid 90s and was surprised by how much BETTER I felt by going low carb. The lower carb/ whole foods diet is truly the way to go and thank you for putting this information out there. I absolutely would LOVE to see updates in the future. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story, well done! Very inspiring, a lot of the things you were saying I can relate to so much, the drop in blood sugar, struggles with weight loss, mental health etc. you have motivated me to keep going xx
Thank you! You can do this!
Thanks so much for sharing your story!! I love how you and your husband are doing this together! I would love to hear updates on how things are going.
It’s easier doing it with him for sure!
Thank you ❤
You’ve done an amazing job! You are very brave to have done this video. 👊🏻 My story is also very similar. Before I had lost any significant weight I noticed that the pain in my knees had lessened significantly. I agree…not going back to having those aches and pains, makes the extra effort of this lifestyle so worth it! I also had normal blood work but in my mid 50s, I knew that would change eventually. I’m down 85lbs and still going! Hadn’t heard of Fast Like A Girl. Thanks for that info…will check her out! Many congrats to you and your husband. You are worth this and have a great mental attitude about it. 🔥
Congratulations on your weight loss!
HI, Sam! Thank you for sharing your journey. I would love to hear periodic updates as you continue your story.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your journey. I am trying this also. My mother has Alzheimer’s and I’m mostly needing to get myself healthy. It’s hard but you are very inspiring! Thanks so much you look fabulous!
Thank you so much, I hope your health journey is successful!
Thanks for sharing your life update with us. Yes I would like to see more of your keto updates.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your journey. Your words have come at a good time as inspiration for me. I've been researching this way of eating and I'm gonna do it. My health needs to be a priority. Congrats on your positive outcome and I'd be very interested in hearing more!❤
You can definitely do this!! Thanks so much for watching!
Well done! You've made great progress so far - keep going! It is a lifestyle change to be successful. I understand many of your thoughts as I've also had them in the almost 5 years since starting low carb. The weight has stayed off thus far and the healing continues. Sharing a family & church potluck favorite: if you enjoy lasagna, this simple hack makes it low carb - swap out the pasta with "thick cut" turkey lunchmeat. You'll still get the "layers" of lasagna, no turkey taste, and best of all be much lower in carbs. Oven roasted turkey lunchmeat works best. Blessings on your continued health journey! ❤
I’m glad you said it doesn’t taste like turkey since I dislike it, and I would never have thought to use it! 5 years of success, go you!
Sam! I’m truly blown away at your changes and dedication to your health it is so inspiring to hear. You sound so calm and at peace with your lifestyle. I’m so thankful for your willingness to share your journey. I’m feeling very encouraged and blessed by this. Thank you so much friend🧡
Thank you so much! I almost chickened out, so your encouragement means a lot!
thank you for sharing your story
Thank you for the video. I do keto as well and I do enjoy seeing someone else having success with this as well. This was such a nice video and even if I’m a long time subscriber for your stationery content I would like to see more keto content as well.
Thank you so much!
You are such an inspiration. I’ve lost weight on these new shots and I feel like crap. My starting weight was 226 and I’m down to 160 but I’m also dealing with inflammation, hair loss, and throwing up several times a week due to gallstones. So all weight loss is not equal. I honestly feel worse. What you’ve been doing sounds completely healthy and sustainable. Thank you for sharing.
Well that doesn’t sound good at all. I dealt with years of gallbladder attacks and didn’t know that was what they were until I had to have surgery to remove it. Losing weight shouldn’t make you sick, please be careful!
I’m really proud of you and I admire you for making this video! I need to lose weight and can relate to many of your personal things you mention. Stay the course you will be successful!
Thank you so much! You can do it!
I understand how hard it must have been to sit down and do this video. You did a great job and I am grateful you did. It was so interesting to hear about your blood suger dips. I've had the same since young age. My doctors really never cared. The blood sugar was never high. 2006 I found out I am glutenintolerant. When I made my diet strictly clean my blood suger dips just disappeared. I've decided to go keto in january. But now when I've seen this I start my health journey tomorrow instead. Small changes instead of one giant. And you bet I want to see more! God bless you and your family! 🙏
It was really hard, but if my story can help just one person-it’s totally worth it! I wish you much success on your own journey!
@@samplans Thank you! So appreciated! ⚘️🙏
Hats off to you Sam. Well done.
Thank you!!
I’m so very proud of you Sam. You truly inspire me. I like your husband have high blood pressure (hereditary) and recent blood work shows stage 3 kidney issues, (Not claiming failure, issues). I hated the word keto as well, but I’m so glad you told your story I will definitely try it now. Keep up the great work and you truly look amazing.
Good luck to you on your journey! My husband had been told he was getting a fatty liver. Hoping this journey will show improvement in that next year!
TFS Sam not an easy topic. I'm so happy for you & your family are doing well. Our family has eaten this way ("clean" as people call it now) for generations. I thought it was normal until I went to college & learned how most were eating out all the time & eating almost all processed foods. Naturally I thought it was because we were raised by farmers/ranchers in small town. I'm thankful
Good for you! It’s a fabulous way to eat and live!
So helpful as I reflect on my need to up my health and honor my body..
We definitely need to!
Hi Sam, You have done such a great job! Make sure to celebrate yourself for your commitment and hard work - and your 6 month results!!! 🎉 Staying consistent is no easy task. I wish we had a local restaurant that served keto lunches! The hard part with keto that I have is what to eat. I am just not a big meat eater. I am doing keto also, but not as consistently as you. When my daughter was in the hospital that got me off track for like two months. ugh. I eat a lot of eggs, greek yogurt, keto protein shakes, some meat, etc. If you have any good recipes, please let me know! Take care!
We just google keto versions of whatever we want to eat. Just this weekend we had keto fried green tomatoes. They were great! You can do it!
Congratulations Sam! I’m so glad that you and your husband are feeling so much better! My son has been eating a low carb diet for years now and he will cheat every now and then if we have cake or something he likes. He lost quite a bit of weight when he first started eating that way and has kept it off. Your story inspires me to try it too!
I hope you do try it, it’s been wonderful! And good for your son, maybe one day I can have little things here or there, but so far I’m just not interested in the possibility of falling off the wagon.
Good for you sweetie loved this video 🎉
Thank you!
I’ve been on the Zoe nutrition programme since January and I’m a different woman. Peri menopause symptoms improved. Lost loads of weight, no bloating and much more energy. They’ve a Zoe podcast about women fasting which I think is the Dr you mentioned. It’s a lifestyle change and nothing is off menu, although I quit alcohol in August which I thought I’d never be able to do. Not required on Zoe but a personal choice. I’m really happy for you that you’ve found something that works so well for you. Very plant based is a great way to go for gut health. I recommend Dr Rupy Anjula and the Zoe podcasts if you are interested in food for health. Well done Sam. 👏
I’ve never heard of either of those, but it makes sense. I definitely eat with nutrition in mind! I haven’t had a drop of alcohol in 26 years, good for you!
Hi Sam it is very courageous to make this video. I follow you for the planner time but I kept listening your journey weight loss. I am living in the US but I grew up in Europe. I don't eat the american diet. No soft drinks, no hotdogs, little as possible hamburgers, no sandwich bread only bread made with flour salt yeast and water= real french bread, no american cake, cup cake etc. We eat vegetables( depend of season), meat ( french cheese), fruits as dessert. Because everything is so expensive we cut the quantity. Quality and less quantity and you will loose weight. As diversity there are a lot of recipes on the internet which can help to vary your selection of what to eat without breaking your diet. Good luck you will arrive and feel so much better and bye bye to doctors
Thank you for sharing! I did really well with intermittent fasting in 2020 and then COVID hit and I was home with my child and eating all the time. I've always struggled with low blood sugar. Sometimes down into the 40s. YIKES! I'm definitely looking in to the keto option now. :D Have you read Delay, Don't Deny? It's really good, too!
Hmm. Delay, as in IF?
@@samplans yes! By Gin Stephens
Congrats on realizing that you needed to make a change in your lifestyle (diet / food plan & exercise) -- AND actually STARTING with a New Life Style AND STICKING with it!! In 2021 I participated in a dietary research study at our local hospital that was studying the effects of full-fat dairy on blood glucose levels. To participate in the study, you had to have an elevated A1C level --so be pre-diabetic. All food was provided, and there was lots of testing -- after the "washout" week of non-protocol diet, after 3 weeks on one diet & then after 3 weeks on the other diet -- all participants ate both the low-fat dairy diet & the full-fat dairy diet. After 1 day on the washout diet, I had empirical evidence that wheat & flour are inflammatory for my body: I had significant post-nasal drip that gave me an all-day intermittent cough EVERY DAY I participated in the study (the study's diet had much more wheat than I usually ate: bread, muffins, cereals, pasta). By the end of the study, besides the empirical evidence that wheat is inflammatory for me, I also had evidence from the 6 days of LOTS of blood testing that if I didn't make a change to my diet / life style, that I was facing Type 2 Diabetes. I decided that if I could eat a diet of not-my-choice for 8 weeks, that I could make significant changes to my diet / Food Plan. What my Food Plan (yeah, I know, spin - but I like that term better than "diet") consists of might fall into the "Keto" category. Like you, I don't really like the label "Keto". I'm just calling it "My New Life Plan". I'm not making any long-term decisions, but rather I set the guidelines for my Food Plan every month. Pretty much, my guidelines are 1) NO sugar or added sugar. So, no candy, no ice cream or gelato 2) NO wheat or flour, so no cookies, no crackers, no bread, no pasta, no pretzels 3) Eat lots of protein, good fats, & non-starchy vegetables; limit portion sizes of starchy vegetables, fruits, nuts. Every month when I'm setting up my Food Plan for the month, I look at the calendar to see what "Special Events" there are, e.g. birthdays, Holidays, etc, and make a plan for how to handle that event. When I started My New Life Plan in Sept 2021, I told myself that it was to improve my health & reduce inflammation. I was hoping for some weight / fat removal (NOT losing it, but rather removing it, because I don't want to find it again :), but that's not my focus. I have never been able to make a plan for X #s weight loss in X period of time; if I try to do that I never meet that [overly optimistic?] goal, and then feel discouraged & depressed, neither of which are good for maintaining a diet / eating plan. For me, I need to be getting enough sleep (a challenge for me), doing regular exercise, and following my Food Plan in order to remove fat. I saw a very interesting YT presentation that was an interview with several people who had lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off. Almost everyone said that they'd had to give up certain foods in order to lose weight and keep it off. The predominant theory on diet and nutrition is that all foods are good; no foods should be "bad" or dis-allowed -- because that kind of eating leads to dis-ordered eating. However, I do believe that there are some people for whom sugar and high-carb foods are like alcohol to an alcoholic; if you eat some, you don't get full, but just want to eat more and more and more. That is how I am with sugar and high-carb foods. There are alcoholics in my family. Just totally cutting out sugar & flour is much easier than trying to eat those "in moderation". One of the people interviewed in that show said that telling someone who REALLY likes sugar & high-carb foods "it's OK, just have a piece of cake (or helping of ice cream or ...) it's your birthday (or whatever event / excuse)" is like telling an alcoholic "just have one drink; it'll be OK" or telling a drug addict that it's OK to have "just a little on this special occasion". Our understanding of alcohol and drug addiction has changed so that we now recognize that abstinence is a better policy than moderation for most addicts. (looked for the video, but couldn't find it). For me, cutting sugar and flour out of my diet has been Best wishes with your journey towards a healthier you with less fat
Based on my husband’s reaction specifically, I also am convinced he has a gluten sensitivity. I’ve definitely treated sugar and flours like a drug. Although I didn’t ever overeat, I definitely consumed too much sugar, and think I’m not someone who handles glucose well. Addictions run rampant in my family, and I’m happy to toss this group of foods from my life.
Good for you! That’s dedication and discipline and you should be very proud! A question… Do you count macros? I think I heard you say in the video that you don’t constantly count carbs. The reason I’m asking is because I tried keto a few years ago and I couldn’t keep it up because every book, doctor, influencer, program, etc., emphasized counting macros including carbs fat and proteins or you wouldn’t be successful. Well I have sucked at math since I was in grade school so this “program” was not for me. Then they threw in this thing about net carbs and counting those instead of just straight carbs. It got all too confusing and complicated and I quit multiple times. If there’s an easier way to do keto without all the math and willing to give it another try. I need to lose at least 60 pounds and It just gets harder the older you get! Thank you for any insight you can provide on this counting macros or not counting them!
Counting net carbs is easier. I don’t count macros. I’ve done it a few times to see where I am, but I don’t want to spend my whole day doing that. I’ve been successful anyway!
I have a Dr. Appointment today. First thing on the agenda is my weight gain. Ive regained the 40lbs I lost doing a keto diet (pre-diabetic). The weight came back slowly.....lack of maintenance. I know we are not automobiles but I definitely believe that if I would have put in the efforts of maintenance i wouldn't have gained the weight back. The good thing is, we get a do-over! Fresh start! I decided the day to start is TODAY! A great way to prepare yourself for the holiday challenges.😊
Good for you! I wish you much success!!
I have tried keto in the past but I was not successful I think the first 2 weeks was hell for me, I was not able to see the results because I did not stick to it long enough to see a difference, listening to you story I wish I would, thanks so much for sharing, it has inspired me to make better and healthier choices ❤ I would like to know how it has been 6 months ~ 1 year from now definitely, if you feel like sharing 😊
I truly think eating berries saved me the first week. I was always told not to by others but it made it work and I’m so happy I listened to what my body wanted!
